We evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on cancer screening in Manitoba, Canada using an interrupted time series (ITS) design and data from Manitoba's population-based, organized cancer screening programs from April 2020 to August 2021. In June 2020 (breast screening was suspended during April and May 2020), there was a 54% decrease between the predicted (i.e., observed data produced from regression models) and expected (i.e., counterfactual values produced for the COVID-19 period by assuming COVID-19 did not occur) number of screening mammograms (ratio = 0.46, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.28–0.64). By December 2020, there was no significant difference between predicted and expected number of screening mammograms (ratio = 0.95, 95% CI 0.80–1.10). In April 2020, there was an 83% decrease in the number of Pap tests (ratio = 0.17, 95% CI 0.04–0.30). By January 2021, there was no significant difference between predicted and expected number of Pap tests (ratio = 0.93, 95% CI 0.81–1.06). In April 2020, there was an 81% decrease in the number of screening program fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs) (ratio = 0.19, 95% CI 0.0–0.44). By September 2020, there was no significant difference between predicted and expected number of FOBTs (ratio = 0.95, 95% CI 0.65–1.24). The estimated cumulative deficit (i.e., backlog) from April 2020 to August 2021 was 17,370 screening mammograms, 22,086 Pap tests, and 5253 screening program FOBTs. Overall, screening programs adapted quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional strategies may be needed to address remaining backlogs.
